Tips Before You Buy Your First "Hit & Miss Engine".
A short video showing examples, advice and tips before you purchase your first "hit and miss" engine. In this video I will show examples of Cracks, breaks, welds, worn bearings, missing parts and much more. We will go over the importance of buying a engine that is complete and the costs involved with missing parts. We will show examples of broken flywheels repaired connecting rods and the destruction that can happen when these are over looked. At the beginning of the video I'm showing a basket case of a engine. It is a 1.5 horse McCormick deering m. The flywheel is busted as well as the hopper. Its missing parts and is pretty much only a parts engine. I show several examples of engines with repairs, and engines that a first time buyer shouldn't buy. I will also show a example of a seized engine with a hole in the piston, that at which would be a big project. I will show all three of my engines as examples of proper and improper repairs. The hit and miss engine term is loosely used. There are many different terms used for the Flywheel engine, stationary engine, throttle governed engine. But a hit and miss engine actually uses the push rod to govern the speed. As the engine speeds up the weights use a mechanism that holts the exhaust valve open and the engine will coast. It will then close once the engine slows down or under a load and will fire again. Where as a throttle governed engine uses the the throttle plate in the carb/mixer to govern the engine. Throttle governed fires the engine every time/ every 4 strokes where as a hit and miss doesn't.
There are a lot of people in this "Hit and miss engine" community that know a lot more than I do. But I thought I would share what knowledge I do have. Thank you for watching

Can My Farmall Tractor Pull Its Weight?
มุมมอง 58221 วันที่ผ่านมา
Me just trying to pull my old truck on the trailer with my farmall C. I didn't think it could do it at first but it did. Was pretty difficult by myself, especially when the governor and the clutch on the tractor was giving me issues. Its pretty cool to see these antique tractors are still useful. I found when working by yourself you have to be pretty resourceful. Its a challenge but fun. I hope...

Riding the Oldest and only coal fired ferry in the USA. The SS Badger
มุมมอง 19Kหลายเดือนก่อน
The SS Badger runs from Manitowoc Wisconsin to Ludington Michigan. It is the last coal fired ferry operating in the USA. The trip was about 4 hours long and was worth the money. It was a experience that almost took you back in time. I tried to get permission to get into the boiler room, but it was not possible due to liability.
Will It Start, no, no it won't. Attempting to start a 6hp cs lister Diesel engine
มุมมอง 1.3Kหลายเดือนก่อน
In this video I will ultimately fail at getting this engine to run. But I will share anyway. I run. through the oiling system, fuel system and much more. You will see why non detergent oil is important in these old engines. Toward end of video you will see my stover belted up to the lister in a attempt to start.

How to install 3rd gen Dodge offset Balljoints
มุมมอง 1812 หลายเดือนก่อน
How to install offset ball joints on a dodge 3500. Had to install these due to the camber being off on both sides of the axle. If your tires are wearing uneven after new balljoints/new front end these are your problem. A reputable alignment shop will give you the specs for what degree balljoints you will need. In my case I needed a 1degree off set on the left and a .5 degree on the right. This ...

Cool little hidden gem of a show in Belvidere Kansas. Just few of us playing with engines and touring the little town of Belvidere. This is the smallest but best engine show I go to every year. If you want info about this show and want to exhibit leave a comment and I will sent you the info. Shout out to Shawn who built the cool economy tractor for letting my boy drive it around
Antique Tractors Left To Stand The Test Of Time. Will they ever run again?
มุมมอง 2.1K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
Some old tractors and implements I have came across in my. travels. Includes A steam traction engine and what appears to be a large trencher. Also in the video are some later model tractors, model t, and threshers. I hate seeing these machines not running but still cool to look at. I hope someday these will be restored to running condition. But time will only tell

Stumbled across this video as I heal from back surgery I just wanted to say I like the video. I am now the retired Fire chief for springville township and the bridge was believed to be some local teens starting the fire. At least that's what went into my report listed as hearsay getting our trucks back there was interesting. Still love to go out there to just get away.
It is a great place to get away for sure. Happy you enjoyed the video. Hope you heal quickly
It's old but can still pull something with wheels on it. Should be able to get a few things done around the place now! 😃
Tractor the new daily driver? Lol
It's my " grocery getter"
Looked like fun bud
My wife and I spent 5 hours sitting on the bow of that thing waiting for it to be fixed so we could go across the lake. Never got it fixed so we had to go to plan B on our vacation motorcycle trip. It was around 80 degrees.
Interesting about “hot rivets.” I’ll have to look and see if I can identify them.
I didnt explain them very well. It's a pretty cool process though.
A couple things the M&NE was the Manistee & Northeastern Ry., 2nd after the Pere Marquette merger with the Chesapeake & Ohio RR, the C&O also folded in the M&NE into its system.
Thanks for that info buddy.
We did that trip back in the 90s when I had family in the Milwaukee/Port Washington area. One time we tried the ferry just for something different and not to have to drive back through Chicago. It was great fun.
sadly, environmental wackos have killed natural resources in the USA
Cheap fuel. Would cost a fortune to run on oil.
Since 2016 or so the SS Badger no longer is allowed to dump coal ash in Lake Michigan and will be changing over to a different fuel source away from coal. It’s promising to see. The future is bright for the SS Badger . 😃Nice vid.
A awful polluter with many tons of coal ash disposed of in the lake!Good old Lake Michigan - source of all my drinking water!
Used to love watching them load and unload rail cars. Us kids put pennys on the track
Me and my brother took that in 1976 to see the U-505 in Chicago. The car ferry was inexpensive back then. We took my 75 Chevy Nova then but I have a 2015 Toyota Corolla now. I don't want to take the trip because it's not only expensive now, but my car is a stick shift and I wouldn't take the chance of a worker trying to drive it on board that doesn't know how to drive it.
Super cool! Never heard of her ,definitely an old school icon!
I remember as a kid walking to the light house in ludington in 73,74,75 and when the badger was going by we would jump up on the railing that ran center of the breakwater because of the wake I see there is no railing anymore
Safety is overrated
The inhibitor of evolution
SS Spartan is used for parts.
I'd like to see how they fuel this time machine.
In Manitowoc they back in a belly dump semi trailer onto the car deck and it falls into the storage bunkers. Originally when the C&O Railroad built it rail cars were used.
That dirty fueled antique should be permanently docked and used in some other way.
No. Never happen. A national landmark. The offset is the fuel used and exhaust driving around the lake, especially for large trucks.
Has "UP DATED" pollution controls on her. Ashes are "RECYCLED."
how about you educate yourself on the subject before making a post and showing everyone your ignorance, greenie.
Please say you use a bicycle and never a car to go anywhere. I don't mean anything that is electric powered either since that uses fossil fuel to charge it. If you don't then you are a hypocrite.
No
Very good video!!Did not realize that this boat was in service. What type of engines does it have? Are they steam turbines ?
The engines are Skinner UniFlows. The last operating type of these engines in the country.
Not everyone in Michigan likes that coal burning antique they been getting around the EPA rules for years I'm glad they quit dumping coal ashes in lake Michigan
$380 for 1 SUV and 3 people?! That seems like an eye-popping amount of money for a 4 hour ferry ride. Is that at least Round Trip? Can you take a round trip as a foot passenger (no vehicle) just for the boat ride?
It was $315 one way before taxes and fees, including fare protection since we were traveling far from home. You don’t have to take your vehicle, you book a ticket separate for yourself and your vehicle. We did it for the experience more than anything. It also avoided the hassle of driving through Chicago and the opportunity to move around while traveling which is a lot nicer than being cooped up on the road!
Yes you can. You do not have to have a vehical to ride the ferry. Yes 380 is alot.
It is pricey. I took the trip the other direction, from Luddington to Manitowoc 3 years ago. One person and one truck was less than $200. That's less than the faster ferry that goes from Muskegon and Milwaukee (and requires a 2-week lead time reservation). I got my reservation the day before for the S. S. Badger and spent the night in Luddington. It's more a "the journey is the point" kind of thing. Is it cheaper to drive around the lake? Absolutely. But that means driving through/past Chicago (and the constant construction on I90/I290/I294/I80), etc. Being able to just relax (after I bought a pullover in the gift shop because I was way underdressed for a 4-hour 15-knot lake crossing over 50-degree water) and enjoy the voyage was great. I plan on one day doing a partial lake loop, crossing on the S. S. Badger then driving north across the U.P. (or doing the U.P first then cross the lake).
Yes, you can ride as a walk on passenger.
You can do a round trip as just a passenger for about $110. Also realize that Manitowoc to Luddington is about the middle of Lake Michigan. It is a 7 hour drive not including Chicago traffic if you go around the bottom and an 8 hour 30 minute drive if you go across the top of the lake between these two cities. That is a lot of driving that is being eliminated plus you get to rest as well. So it may well be worth the cost for some people.
I am sure you meant "SS" Badger. The prefix "USS" would imply that it is a U.S. warship.
I did ha ha. Thank you for that info
I believe there are quite a lot of new Lister parts still available
Yea alot of them. I guess a factory in India still makes the lister engine and are still in use today.
Soak in Acetone and AtF
I've wanted a Lister for a while. Sadly, thanks to my wife's uncontrolled retail therapy, I most likely will never have one.😢
Good call not attempting to use the original filter system
A super 8
Well you tried. Glad you found a good home for it.
Looks like you need Vet gloves to work on big nasty !
Yessss, invested in this Lister! Can't wait to see it run. Awesome video man.
Awesome engines 🤠
Team diesel 👇
The model of Fairbanks 15/25 is really nice and very correct looking!! Hat's off to the builder!!👏🏻
For damn sure!
Just to clarify, this engine is between 70 and 80 years old. Ive owned it for a very short time and it doesnt run. Im not sure the last time the oil was changed.
I think we'll find out in 100 years when people treat our current stuff as antiques.
How old is the lifter? And you are now doing an oil change. Yeah, don't listen to him. The oil should have been changed every 3-5 years. Did you even warm up the lifter before you started the oil change?
Im right there with you. Even recent day high pressure 30hp belt driven crank pumps i run non detergent.
Ive had my 426 running on 10-40 for years now. When i stripped the head after flooding it, literally nothing was wrong, the valves, lifters, crank case, all were spotless except the water flooding 4 cylinders, im a firm believer on adding atf maybe 1/2-1qt every 3-5k just to help clean stuff out like that. I now have 170k miles on a 6.1 based 426 and have had no issues at all. Never even had to replace the pushrods or valves after the flood
That's crazy 😧😧😧
Versus. Not verse
Forbidden jello
That wiggly clot you had in your fingers is congealed oil and is now grease.
What are those pieces of junk anyway my buddy has 2 or 3 of them and thinks hes all cool....
You mean the antique hit & miss engine?
@@ComputersAndLife I guess
These are NOT hit and miss engines. This is a single cylinder diesel engine. These engines were running before you were born and will, with good care, run well after your passing. An EMP event will not affect it in any way.
Fill it with atf clean it by hand
If you change the oil enough with detergent oil or not you wouldn’t have those buildups
@@noahmcabee2534be easier to change it on time or just use non detergent
With age you will always have build up with hydrocarbons. Which is why he probably opened it up for a PM 3000-6000hrs id assume or bearing failure 🤷♂️ lol
I'm in the process of restoring this engine. I bought it at auction. Most likely hadn't ran in decades
